Week 11 Weigh In

This has been a bad week (actually bad doesn't come close).  Not for eating but emotionally, which for me normally leads to emotional eating but for some reason I didn't even think about binging.  Last night I was craving chocolate, but I looked at the calendar and realised it's the week before AF which means sugar cravings for me.  It certainly helps not having any junk in the house.  I had a loss of 1.2 kg this week - YAY!!!

We haven't ordered L&E this week.  A combination of the cost, $260 a week for us both to do it, and we are both a little over the frozen meals.  We have enough frozen dinners to us until Tuesday but then we'll be having a lot of fresh stir-frys or lean meat & salads.

Nic has had a cold this week, which he lovingly passed on to me.  He has also cut his second 2 yr old molar, it wasn't as bad as the first thankfully.

Ian's weight has remained the same this week.  He's going to a bucks night tonight so I have planned a little party night at home with Nic (and Aunty Bobbie will be joining us).  We'll have an early dinner of burritos (N loves wraps), then we'll play some games and watch his favourite DVD while eating popcorn.  Hopefully he'll be so preoccupied he won't notice daddy not being there to read the bedtime story.

Week 10 Weigh In

Short & sweet today.  

Both Ian & I had a loss of 0.4kg this week.  Bringing my total back to 8.5kg that it was 3 weeks ago and Ian is now at 5.5kg.

Crap crap crap!!!

I've probably just stuffed my week.  I have been so good for the past 4 1/2 days and then this afternoon I go and eat more than half a box of pizza shapes.  Even though after hoping on the scales this morning there was no change I was actually starting to feel a difference.  Now I just feel bloated :-(

I need to find a hobby to do at home when Nic is sleeping (and not cleaning).  I was bored, no other excuse.

Week 9

I set myself a goal to lose the 1.4 kg that I gained last week.  So I jump on the scales (after a pretty bad week) and I've lost 1kg.  Pretty happy with that!!

Today we had an early start heading out to Qld Raceway for the boys to do their V8 Supercar fast laps that I got them for their birthday.  Got a text at 7am from JJ saying that they are stopping at McDonalds on the way over do we want anything.  Argh, I looove bacon & egg McMuffins with a hash brown.  I was strong and said no.   It's the start of the new autumn menu and breakfast today was huge, 2 weetbix with milk & a english muffin with 2 slices of ham, tomato & cheese.  When I first started L&E I really struggled eating that much for breakfast, now while I still feel really full I get through the morning so easily.

My goal this week (other than to keep losing weight) is to get more sleep.  I've had far too many nights of not getting to bed until 11:30 / 12am.

Willpower, where are you....

I let myself get in a rut last week, and yes AF did have a lot to do with that but as of Sunday I had no excuse.  I was weak and had even more treats.  I physically felt sick for about 10hrs after, I skipped lunch yesterday because I felt so bad, thankfully by the evening I was feeling better so had lunch for dinner.  

Today I had a quick peak on the scales and I've lost all but 0.4kg that I put on last week.  This has given me the boost I need to be good for the rest of the week.  I set myself a mini goal to lose 4-5kg by the 9th April which is when we have a wedding to attend.  

Note to self - drink more water!!!

Week 8 Weigh In & Measurements

I really don't like myself this morning.  I had been feeling really blah last weekend without knowing why.  I've never been one to suffer from PMS, no mood swings, no cravings, no cramps, you get the drift.  It came and went and was all but a minor inconvenience.  Well it seems as I get older things are changing.  AF arrived on Tuesday and I've been feeling really lethargic, bloated and just generally in a bad mood.  I've given into my sweet cravings several times and I've hardly been drinking any water.  As a result I've had a gain of 1.4kg this week.  All that hard work the week before to lose 1.9kg has been wasted.

Sigh......so today is a new day and the start of a new week.  I am determined to lose what I have gained plus some more.  We have been invited to a party this afternoon/evening and I WILL NOT eat any junk.  I'll leave having my snacks until just before we go so I'm not hungry and tempted.

Some positive news is my measurements.  Since our last measurements were taken (4 weeks ago) I have lost 28cm.  Most of it being from my waist, hips & bust.  My total loss since starting is 42 cm.

The dress I ordered for the wedding in April arrived on Thursday and is lovely.  I'm off to DFO tomorrow to find a pair of shoes.

Ian was off to work early again this morning so I'll have to wait until this afternoon to update his weight.
